Thanks CHSDOC. Been to Charleston and enjoyed it. But no way could we survive the summers. I've lobbied without success for low/no tax red states to no avail.

Another good idea, but we've hardly spent any time there so it's not on our radar.

Thanks nequine. I'll miss VX when AS has finishing trashing it.

Thank you very much 757. Agree on VX.

For your luxury weekends, there is always Key West or Palm Beach & Mar-a-Lago.
Another good idea but I know we wouldn't survive the summers there.

Bingo. We like the four seasons plus month after month of oppressive summer heat and humidity is just not for us.
